Does Ford still have a TailGate theft problem?

Evidently stealing Ford truck tailgates is still a big business.
I have one of these:

It bolts on with a really big Torx driver, one that a thief is unlikely to happen to have. Of course, as the owner you have to have that tool handy if you ever have occasion to remove your tailgate.

Even with a locking tailgate I have heard they they can remove the panel on the tailgate to access the lock mechanism to release it.

There was someone here that said the thief broke into the tonneau cover and crawled into the bed hidden by the cover to work on the inside of the tailgate and eventually took it.
